								<p>Redirecting:
<blockquote>Redirecting your account disables posting from that account and displays a “profile moved” notice indicating your new account. Anyone viewing your profile can see this notice and will know to follow you at your new account. Following redirected accounts is not possible. The redirect can be canceled at any time.</blockquote></p>

<p>Moving:
<blockquote>Moving your account is the same as redirecting your account, but it will also irreversibly force everyone to unfollow your current account and follow your new account, if their software supports the Move activity. Your toots will not be moved, due to technical limitations. There is also a very heavy cooldown period in which you cannot migrate again, so be very careful before using this option!</blockquote></p>

<blockquote>Profile moves can only be initiated when your two accounts have been aliased. Account aliases are currently not used for anything other than profile moves, where you will need to set your old account as an alias of your new account before initiating the move. Setting aliases is harmless and reversible on its own.</blockquote>

<p>Something like the sound of that. I haven&#39;t tried it but I think it sounds like that&#39;s how it should work and hey, why not make it fully compatible with this?</p>

<p><br/>
<i>Specific use case</i>: People or Bands from The Freaks Club become part of the co-operative and need an account at Beyond The Pit Productions to reflect that.
They definitely should not lose anyone or anything and it should be as seemless and automatic as possible. Preferably able to be done by the Webmaster as well as the Actor.<br/>
 A warning and reject message needs to appear if one tries to do it after another has initiated it if it&#39;s going to take longer than instantanously -- which it will. ;P</p>

<p>Side note: Someone said something about utilizing &#34;rel=me&#34; for some things to show ownership. Unsure where/how that should be incorprated.</p>
